Correlation in SPSS

Parametric test – Karl Pearson’s correlation
In parametric data we use Pearson’s correlation and the data is parametric in nature .
We have taken the data of two variable age and Income of individual respondents .
The income is in thousands .
Hypothesis
 Ho = There is no significant correlation between age and income of individuals
 H1 = There is a significant correlation between age and income of individuals
Variable view
Data View
Output
 We can see the sig value of 2-tailed is
.000 which is less then P value , hence
the Null hypothesis is rejected
 There is a significant correlation
between age and income of
individuals
 We can also see the Pearson
correlation value is .875 which means
age and income are positively
correlated
Non Parametric test – Spearman’s
correlation
 This is an example of non parametric test of correlation . The data is collected using
Likert’s scale.
 The two variables are Style and Preference of individual on apparels.
 Style is rate from 1-5 ( Poor style to Excellent style)
 Preference is rated by 1-5 (Strongly disagree – Strongly Agree)

Value codes
Data View
Analysis
 We can see the sig value of 2-tailed is .202
which is more then P value , hence the
Null hypothesis is accepted
 There is no significant correlation between
preference and style of individuals
 We can also see the Spearman’s
correlation value is -.264 which means age
and income are negatively correlated
Thank You
